Default RED drops a bombshell
The RED DSMC System has been announed. Highly configurable, can be set up as SLR or motion picture camera using either Canon or Nikon mounts.

Scary awesome.

Hmmmm...

Maybe if I sell all my current gear, I might be able to afford a Canon lens mount for this.

(I think dSLR users can sitll sleep comfortably)

What about the 261 Megapixel 28K Epic Camera takes movies and stills.
A steal at $55'000.
Beats the hasselblad for rez and price.

Are they that shiny in real life? They look rather gaudy.

What about quality? Will it beat the H3D on quality? (plus the H3D is cheaper than that by nearly £10k)

Will RED Scarlet/Epic auto-focus with Canon lenses attached? If not the system is darn near worthless to me, because I have little use for a 12,000.00 MF camera at this time. Let alone a 12,000 camera and a need for new lenses.

I'm also not crazy about the EVF system.

I'd like to see how much a total working system would end up costing but it's a brilliant idea. Choice of Nikon or Canon lenses....

The idea is excellent, but I will be much more excited when someone implements this same sort of "custom camera" idea at the consumer level...or at least sub $10,000

Fantastic spec! But a but tad towards cumbersome IMO. Customisability and compactness don't mix too well.

A basic form is said to be about $3500

I'll believe it when I see a real one, and results and can try one.
